Hey, just wondering if anyone has any tips for studying Module B (Film- A Beautiful Mind)?
Anything will help, thanks heaps!!
Hey! I didn't do 'A Beautiful Mind' but pretty much Module B is a close study so there's a lot of emphasis on the text's recurring themes through its techniques.
Since its a film, you have to keep in mind visual techniques are the preferred choice of techniques when analysing a film instead of the dialogue (-unless the dialogue actually helps aha). You can analyse the film in terms of its angles (ie; high shot = power, wide shot = emptiness, etc.), edits (ie; reverse, black and white, slow down), lighting, composition, vector lines, colour, character, costuming, visual symbols and more. Then explain how those techniques create meaning or tell a theme. For example, in Billy Elliot the use of blue costuming at the start of the film represents masculinity. However, the colours red, yellow and green represents Billy's growth as an individual.
Hope this helps
